Sherlock takes gold, Lange silver, at BUHS ski team’s first race

WESTMORE -- The BUHS Nordic team traveled to the southern end of Lake Willoughby on Friday for their first race of the season at Mt. Hor.

The 2012 Mt. Hor Hop, a 5-kilometer freestyle race, was hosted by North Country Union High, and eleven teams hiked the half-mile civil conservation corps access road to the starting area. The start featured two-skier waves with 30 second intervals between each wave.

Nearly all of the Colonel racers improved on their finish places from last year.

In the boys "A" race, senior Graham Glennon took fifth, which was nine places better than his performance last year. Glennon finished the 5K course in 17:37, which was 25 seconds out of first place.

BUHS entered two girls in the girls "A" race and had two top-10 finishes.

Halie Lange finished in second place, twelve seconds off the winning time, and Linnea Jahn tied for tenth.

First year skier Sam Sherlock won the boys "B" race, which features a shorter course for beginning racers. He took a commanding 17-second lead over the second place competitor.

The Colonels will travel to the Viking Nordic Center in Londonderry on Friday for a night race.
